But what if that is a consequence of the 'hallucinations' changing your perspective on things? What if the psychedelic break with baseline reality for a few hours is the trigger that changes things?
It's definitely interesting to try and understand. I also just react poorly to people trying to create 'useful' versions of a drug without the 'fun' parts. I don't dabble any more but the experience of compounds like these was well worth the time invested.
(I put hallucinations in quotes above because I think there's a difference between the psychedelic experience and something all-out hallucinatory, read erowid reports on belladonna, datura and brugmansia for the latter)
